It is both an environmental education curriculum and a global studies resource suitable for middle school science, social studies, math, language arts, and family life education classrooms. The readings and activities contained in this book are designed to broaden students' knowledge of trends and connections among population change, natural resource use, global economics, gender equity, and community health. This knowledge combined with the critical thinking skills developed in each activity will help students explore their roles as global citizens and environmental stewards. The book is divided into four parts: (1) Understanding Population Dynamics;(2) People, Resources, and the Environment; (3) Issues for the Global Family; and (4) You and Your Community. Also included is a list of activities grouped by themes including air/water pollution and climate change, carrying capacity, environmental and social ethics, family size decisions, future studies, land use issues, natural resource use, population dynamics and trends, resource distribution/inequities, solid waste management, and sustainability. The appendices contain sources for further research and population education materials.

In order to compare the exposure results and different microenvironmental concentrations between the cities it is crucial to know the extent and effects of the population bias that has developed in sampling procedure and the sociodemographic characteristics of each measured population sample. In each participating city a random Base sample of 2000 to 3000 individuals was drawn from the census and a Short Questionnaire (SQ) was mailed to them. Two subsamples of the Respondents of the mailed questionnaire were randomly drawn: Diary sample for 48-h time±microenvironment±activity diary and extensive exposure questionnaires, and Exposure sample for the same plus personal exposure and microenvironmental monitoring. Significant differences existed between the EXPOLIS cities in the population-sampling procedure. Population-sampling bias was evaluated by comparing the Respondents with the total city populations. The share of women and individuals with more than 14 years of education is higher among the Respondents than the overall population except in Athens.

  • (Nox) Emission Air Pollution Density in Major Metropolitan Areas of the United States
    Population Density, Traffic Density and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Emission Air Pollution Density in Major Metropolitan Areas of the United States This report summarizes the latest Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data on the density of daily traffic densities and road vehicle nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions densities by counties within the 51 metropolitan areas with more than 1 million population in the United States as of 2010. The measures used are described under "The Measures," below. The EPA data indicates a strong association both between: Higher population densities and higher traffic densities (Figure 1). Higher population densities and higher road vehicle nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission intensities (Figure 2) In both cases, the relationships are statistically significant at the 99 percent level of confidence. These relationships are summarized by population density category in Table 1, which includes total daily road vehicle travel density (vehicle miles per square mile), annual nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission intensity and a comparison to the average of all of the metropolitan area counties. It is important to recognize that air pollution emissions alone are not a fully reliable predictor of air quality, though all things being equal, higher air pollution emissions will lead to less healthful air. This issue is described further under "Caveats."
